90Halbrook absolutely nails the lead role of Mr. Abner Meecham, the headstrong farmer whose lips can't form the words "give up."
-
90Deliberately paced, richly atmospheric drama also boasts first-rate work by a splendid supporting cast and impressive production values.
-
More than once, the director inserts a gooey flashback to a tender moment between the farmer and his late wife (Dixie Carter) that not only extends an already overlong movie, but also fatally undercuts the artful rigor of its leading man.
